Overload your senses with a helicopter flight and jet boat ride combo! Admire views of the spectacular Christchurch city and the majestic Southern Alps before touching down on the banks of the Waimakariri River for an intoxicating jet boat ride. Unwind with a scenic flight back to Christchurch.
Prepare for an unparalleled buzz after this combo adventure. Departing Christchurch Airport, your pilot will take you over the stunning city dotted with luscious parklands and gardens and afford you with views of the mystical Southern Alps. They'll then whisk you away on a 10 minute flight to the banks of the Waimakariri River, where your jet boat ride will be waiting. Blast off down the braided river at unreal speeds, experiencing exhilarating 360-degree spins and drifts in just a few centimetres of water. Immerse yourself in this magical landscape before boarding the return flight across the Canterbury Plains. Upon landing, you'll finally get to take a breath and reflect on your amazing experience.

RedBalloon is your one-stop shop for experiences and curated gifts. We’re so confident you’ll love what you get from us, we’re offering this promise to you…
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
